An acid is a chemical substance that has a sour taste and is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value less than 7. It turns blue litmus paper (pH indicator) red. Citric acid is a common acid found in lemon.

Alkali and base are the same thing. An Alkali is a chemical substance that has a soapy feeling and a bitter taste. It is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value greater than 7. It turns red litmus paper blue. Alkalis are commonly found in shampoos. The burning in eyes when such products get into eyes is caused by alkalis. Sodium hydroxide is a common alkali.

Calculate the vapor pressure of a solution made by dissolving 109 grams of glucose (molar mass = 180.2 g/mol in 920.0 ml of wate
Fynjy0 [20]
Given data: <span>molar mass = 180.2 g/mol in 920.0 ml of water at 25 °c.
                   </span><span>the vapor pressure of pure water at 25 °c is 23.76 mm hg. 
</span>Asked: <span>the vapor pressure of a solution made by dissolving 109 grams of glucose
</span><span>
Solution:
moles glucose = 109 g/ 180.2 g/mol=0.605 
mass water = 920 mL x 1 g/mL = 920 g 
moles water = 920 g/ 18.02 g/mol=51.1 
mole fraction water = 51.1 / 51.1 + 0.605 =0.988 
vapor pressure solution = 0.988 x 23.76 = 23.47 mm Hg</span>

Consider the balanced equation below. 8H2 + S8 Right arrow. 8H2S Based on the mole ratios, what can most likely be predicted? 1
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

8 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

This is given below:

8H2 + S8 —> 8H2S

Now, let us carefully observe the mole ratio of the reactants.

This is illustrated:

The mole ratio of the reactants ( i.e H2 and S8) is 8 : 1

From the balanced equation above,

We can thus, concluded that:

8 moles of H2 will reacted with 1 mole of S8.

Calculate E o cell for the reaction: AgCl(s) + NO(g) → Ag(s) + Cl-(aq) + NO3-(aq) (in acidic solution) Use the fact that the red
kaheart [24]

Answer:

-0.74

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

AgCl(s) + NO(g) → Ag(s) + Cl⁻(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

We can identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions.

Reduction (cathode): 1 e⁻ + AgCl(s) → Ag(s) + Cl⁻(aq)

Oxidation (anode): 2 H₂O(l) + NO(g) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻

The standard cell potential (E°) is equal to the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red,cat - Ered,an = 0.22 V - 0.96 V = -0.74 V
